Welcome
Hi, welcome to American Dad Wikia! Thanks for your edit to the Forest Whitaker page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Buckimion (Talk) 00:32, January 2, 2010

Do not remove formatting from episodes. (Such as captions, Asst. Directors) We are working to fill those in and removing them makes it more difficult for new people to know where info goes. --Buckimion 02:00, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Reverted page - Blocked - Surro-Gate
I made a usage error change to ONE word only on this page; http://americandad.wikia.com/wiki/Surro-Gate

It was reverted back to the previous edit & I was blocked for "Removing content from pages: Do not remove formatting".

Since all I did was cut & paste the correct spelling of the word "border" onto the page (boarder is not used correctly) & click save, I don't see how I could have done anything else.

If this Wiki doesn't want my help, please close my account. Otherwise be more constructive in asking if a poster is having a problem, point out ways to improve, or make suggestions instead of giving a 24 hour "time out" arbitrarily.

 * Are you telling me that you did not intentionally remove the headers for Guest Stars, Director, Assistant Director, writers, storyboards and musical numbers? These all came up missing after your edit and reverting was the easiest way to bring them back. This isn't doubt as I am genuinely curious. I'm aware that some browsers have formatting issues and am curious if your browser (and others as it seems to be a widespread issue) may be acting independently to remove items it doesn't like. The 24 hour hold was the shortest I could come up with to get your attention since you didn't respond to my first message. I'll lift it if you want to talk things over. --Buckimion 14:06, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

As I said before, all I did was change ONE word. I did NOTHING else. Then I clicked the save button at the bottom. I use Firefox, 3.5.6.

As I am new here, I did not see the other message. I do not check messages as a normal course of using this site. I use it primarily to get the story line and other trivia before viewing the episodes. I figure I would help out by correcting errors I notice and adding items that I knew the answers to.


 * hmm. I use FF and haven't had that trouble but I did run into something strange earlier this week. If you feel like it, please try to do again what you did last time and I'll see what happens. Unlike most wiki admins I'm very hands-on here although I just took this one over after they had a run of vandalism and I'm still organizing things. (I run the Family Guy and Cleveland Show wikis as well. I was hesitant to get involved here because of the mess but its slowly starting to come around.) --Buckimion 18:51, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
